BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIP

BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIP – Easy to throw together & addictive. This dip is loaded with bacon, cheddar cheese & ranch, all the fixings of awesomeness.

I am pretty much a dip fanatic and this BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIP is by far my favorite dip I have made. I was inspired for this recipe after doing a holiday round-up for 50 of the Best Holiday Appetizers. There were so many delicious appetizers and I knew I was going to make at least 2/3 of them before Christmas. The 5-Minute Million Dollar Dip aka Neiman Marcus Dip from my friend Alyssa was one of my favorites, mainly because it was so easy to throw together. And because we are obsessed with Homemade Ranch Dressing this seemed like a natural pairing.

But since I am not a huge mayo fan, I wanted to play with the base of the dip to make it more suitable for me. So I added sour cream and since ranch dressing is a family favorite, I threw in some ranch seasoning and viola we became instant addicts. The bacon and the cheddar cheese add just enough saltiness to take away the tangy from the mayo and sour cream. The green onions add some depth to the flavor and well after the first bite, I had at least 8 more. NOTE: I am sure Greek yogurt might work as well my friend Brianne uses it in her Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip and it turned out great.

I tried to tell my hubs to back off because we were actually taking it to a party and honestly I was shocked it made it there. I love eating it with a variety of of dippers from crackers to chips and carrots to just with a spoon; not only is this an amazing but also easy. This BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIP also works as a fantastic as a spread for a sandwich or roll-up as well.

This BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIPwill quickly become your to-go-to appetizer whether it be for the holidays, football tailgating or college basketball playoffs. Enjoy friends. XOXO San

See how easy this is to throw together for you next game day party.

My favorite kitchen items I used to make this BACON CHEDDAR RANCH DIP.

This post may contain affiliate links. See my Full Disclosure for further details.

Mixing Bowls: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been an essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of the durability.

Measuring Cups – nothing beats a good set of measuring cups that last a long time. I love metal measuring cups because of their durability.

Rubber Spatula – Nothing like being able to scrape any type of bowl clean without scratching it up. Don’t forget one of these babies to get every last bit out of your bowl.

I make this but with a 24 oz sour cream & no mayo & we call it loaded potato dip. You dip it with ruffles & that’s your potato. I’ll have to try it with the mayo. But yes, you’re right, so quick & easy to throw together. Cutting up the green onions is the hardest thing to do.
